Who’s here in 2023 - 10 years after their induction - still enjoying the HELL out of this?? I know it just reignited my fandom….now to take a deep dive into my library of RUSH!! 🎶🎸🥁🎵🎧

I love how Dave and Taylor were more excited than the guys from Rush.

"Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah!" - Alex Lifeson Never wiser words were ever spoken. Legends.

Im here in 2024. Who else it still here?

Lifeson delivers the greatest speech in the history of awards show speeches!

The fact that they played Tom Sawyer at EVERY SINGLE CONCERT from 1981 all the way up until their retirement in 2015 speaks volumes about how legendary it is.

R.I.P Neil Peart & Taylor Hawkins. 😢😭

Hard to believe two great contributors to drumming from this video are gone. Taylor Hawkins and Neil. Rest in peace. Two amazing bands have suffered these terrible losses.

I will never understand why Alex Lifeson doesn’t appear on more all-time greatest guitarists lists!

Neil Peart’s acceptance speech is one for the ages. Bless you for being you.

How 3 people can be so brilliant still blows my mind after being a fan for 40 years.

Warning: this is absolutely the wrong thing to watch if you need to get to bed.

"In my van, it's ALL RUSH, ALL THE TIME!"

Very profound speech from Alex, Glad this was done before Neil passed, great band of all our generation

The amount of talent onstage for that Crossroads number! 🤯

That final jam: I couldn't wipe the grin off my face for half an hour after it ended. We've got to do this more often!

Alex's speech touched me in ways you can't imagine. Just tears....

Feb 23rd, 2024 here. I love watching this....but, it makes me cry.......everytime. RIP Professor, IMO? YOU ARE THE BEST EVER!!!!! PERIOD!

Alex’s speech is one of the most emotional and inspiring things I’ve ever heard.

Best RRHF induction in history!!!!!!

My neighbor turned me onto Rush in 1976 and let me listen to only one song. For a kid not previously much interested in music, this was revelatory. Not long after acquiring my own copy of 2112 I began comparing all other music and bands to Rush - 45 years later, a couple have come close, but none have surpassed them.

Rush is the only band for me that means so much more than just the music on its own. They are/ were so easy to follow. Every year since 1974 they have given us an album ( remember those), no band fights that we heard of, no sign of drug abuse, maybe a little drug use. Each album they grew and it always took two or three listens before you get it. Then try you learn the lyrics, bass part and of course the drums. And no matter what they did you loved them, and you found certain songs you didn't like but you still listen. I love this band, if it matters or not I'm a 65 year old black man who grew up in a hood, thats how universal Rush is. I miss going to see them live. My first show was them opening for Kiss in Atlanta.

Neil Perth, Chris Cornell, Taylor Hawkins: Thank you for the music. The world rocks less without you.

About 25-30 years too late, after being fought by the music industry much of the way…at least they got this done before Neil passed. RIP. Neil, Geddy and Alex - you guys will remain in the hearts and souls of your fans forever! Great speech, Alex!! Probably the best ever at that ceremony!

Oh no! Tears fell from my eyes as I heard Mr Peart speak!

That rare smile from Neil @ 25:22 warms my heart. It's been so much loss and heartache in the past 10 years, we lost both drummers who played in these performances, politics and war and disease have destroyed lives and hurt so many people. But yet we have their music to inspire us and bring us joy. Seeing him smile like that makes me so happy. I'm so sad for him that he was cheated of his time with his family after his career. I wish I could have seen Rush live and never will, but am so glad they were able to be honored here. They say you only really die the last time someone speaks your name. None of these people will ever, ever die in my opinion. Thank you for everything.

If there ever was a band who had raw, individual talent, it's these guys, truly great band!

Alex Lifeson - the greatest speech of all time.

so happy Neil got to experience this with the fans while still here. I know they’ve said they dont care too much about the hall of fame, but im sure it was great to FINALLY get that recognition for the band, for us fans for RUSH as a whole.

Watching this looking at Alex and knowing what he's going to say and do is priceless.

That was the most heart felt blah blah i've ever heard 😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤

Neil Peart is an ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!! Yes, still is... Will always be.

No wonder they didn't let Alex write any of the songs 😁

If you look up the word integrity in the dictionary, it shows a picture of RUSH . 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Three of the greatest musicians ever got together and created... RUSH. RIP to my influence... Neil Peart.

Funny thing is Alex' speech is the only one i can recite word for word without thinking about it one bit.

Rush being inducted is the greatest moment of all time

How come i never see that ? Mix emotions, seeing Neil, Taylor and Chris on the stage ...my all time drums heros and vocalist gone, 😢

Rush's synergy is on another level. RIP Neil Peart

Alex's speech is just perfect for his kind of personality! Such legends 🙌

The delicious irony of singing "Glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity" to the very institution they were talking about when they wrote this song. I think Alex and Neil shared a smile about the biig F*CK YOU this song was to the hall that shit on them all those years.

Everytime I have seen Rush Live.The one thing is obvious..They are great friends..

I’m literally watching this while wearing my rush T-shirt and I totally forgot I had it on😂

Grohl and Hawkins with the best intro I've seen for a group in the rrhof

I'm so happy they got in before Neil passed. He was modest about it and said he wanted it more for his fans, and he was genuine about it. I know it had to mean a lot to him, though. I still can't believe he's gone. My all-time favorite musician.

I have heard every song. 40 years in my life pass. How can Rush still give me goosebumps?

In 1982, I was 11 years old, and one particular song from the album "Moving Pictures" had me hooked for a lifetime - "Red Barchetta." In that same year, I began to learn how to play the guitar. By 1983, I was able to play their songs for the first time, "The Trees" and It was the start of my musical journey until today. Geddy, Alex and Neil from the bottom of my heart...Thank You very much

Ladies and gentlemen from Toronto, Canada, RUSH!!!!!!!!!✌️👍🤘👍✌️🧑‍🏫🤘👍✌️✌️🤘🧑‍🏫🔈🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁blah,blah,blah,blah,blah. Thanks to Lerxst,Pratt, And Dirk. Thanks for the music 🎶🎶🔈🎶🎶. Canada's finest export.👑🍺🥃🍻🍺🥂.

First of all, RIP Neil :(. Secondly, the ONLY band I saw live 5 times!! And NEVER did they disappoint! Each and every one of them were so full of talent and truly truly true to themselves. AND love they truly loved each other!! I will forever love RUSH!!

This was definitely a night to remember, was in the nosebleeds that night. absolutely will never forget it, coolest show I think I'll ever witness.

First Concert for me. 1977 Stockton, California memorial auditorium. Rush-A farewell to Kings tour with UFO-Lights Out How cool is / was that right? as a kid in 1977 14 years old in 8th grade discovering the Power of Rock n roll ( thanks Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush too).. What I remember most about that night was Xanadu, As Xanadu began With Geddy manipulating powerful sounds never heard such power beating against my chest from the keyboards & double neck bass & the fog machine mist filling the air.. Neil raking his sticks across chimes and Alex sending out this tone great anthem announcement sounds from his doubleneck guitar.. as if to say... WE ARE RUSH ! IT JUST TAKES ME BACK EVERYTIME I SEE THEIR ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME INDUCTION DAY CELEBRATION! to 1977 Here we are 2023. Saying what Rush has been saying & playing for over half a century now.. with gratitude in my heart We are all RUSH... today I feel like a 60 year old kid.....Saying what Alex said....... lol... Blah Blah...blah blah blah bluuhh! bluh bluh bluh bluh bluh bluh extra credits.. I remember Michael Schenker. Ripping up guitar solos of Rock Bottom that felt like a good hour long song! BEST MEMORIES TO ALL!

Everyone I rewatch this clip, my favorite part is the one dude yelling “YEA!” after every album name lmao.

This is what I loved about Rush. They made great music. They were polite, humble, beyond talented, yet always in on the joke. Most importantly they let people have dignity. Neil left us way too soon.

I was so glad RUSH was FINALLY inducted into the RRHOF before Neil Peart's passing.

Thank God they got in before Neil passed !!!!!!!!!!!!! They proved the critics & Rolling Stone wrong

Greatest R&R HOF acceptance speech EVER!!!!!

Geddy Lee singing the last verse on "Crossroad" it´s really a ribbon to such a present for blues and rock and roll

RusH was composed of 3 compulsive perfectionist, and genuine good people that do not have any ego trips that have lead to the demise of many successful bands. Truly GREAT musicians that are also truly great friends.... Resulting in some of the cleanest, tightest most amazing music ever made.

I miss Neal so much it’s like the world is out of tilt since his passing.

Dave should be given the award just for his speech.

I love the little skit at the end. They deserved the induction so much. RIP Neil Peart.

Such a heartwarming speech from Alex towards his lawyer Bob Loblaw

I'm here from Buffalo NY just a two minute ride across the peace bridge from their home country. I've seen the hip, b. N. L. Lover boy, and why I never saw rush live is just one regret I will live with.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I always have to cry when Neil thanks the families gone and the families alive

Neil: eloquent and thoughtful, Geddy: appreciative and proud, Alex: …..🤣🤣🤣 wtf?! CLASSIC! Fly Alex Fly!!

Taylor and Neil we miss you.😢

Neil and Taylor, older and younger but both lost and gone but not forgotten.

The emotion of Taylor Hawkins and Dave Grohl is contagious.

"Fan base only rivaled by the Grateful Dead." And in some cases, intertwined with the Dead's fan base. I'm a 57-year-old deadhead who's loved Rush since I first heard "Fly By Night" on the radio when I was all of 9 years old. First concert: 1/26/80 at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, NY -- just a few months after my first Dead show the previous October. Good times both.

OMG, my #1 rock band in the entire rock n roll history, in the world!!!!!!! The best band ever respectfully submitted your biggest fan, David Joseph Garcia xoxo forever and ever rock n roll lives forever!!!!!!!+

And Geddy fit right in with Public Enemy hippin' 'n hoppin' along, WORD, and he was really enjoying it. I can see a hip hop influence appearing one year here. What a night that must have been, eventually going down to the crossroads in a rock classic performance to be remembered.

2024!!! Still awesome!!

Never seen a band as in sync with each other. Truly three people gelling into one. VERY hard to do! And that’s only one thing that made them great!

When Lifeson said blah blah blah, I really felt that.

Everybody that was inducted in the rock and roll hall of fame rush,heart,just to name a few all legends of Rock and roll thank you for all the years of bringing us all the iconic sounds of rock. Long live rock and roll. RIP Neal Peart, Taylor Hawkins,Chris Cornell,. God Bless

I have never heard such a humble speech by any band. They gave praise to how much help they had along the way. They are amazing even though they aren't my type of music they may have the best acceptance speech of all time

Never heard Rush until now. They was that deal!

Wow, how this has become a video thatll tug at your heart strings

I will say, I’m glad that before he passed Neil knew how much of an inspiration he was to a whole generation of drummers and we all loved Neil fuckin Peart!

Anytime I'm feeling down and want a pick-me-up, I watch some aspect of Rush's induction into the RRHOF. A magnificient acknowledgement of a band that did it "the RIGHT way", no matter how long it took the squares to realize it.

God bless Neil. As a drummer for nearly 50 years now myself I always tried to play like him and learned so much from him. It breaks my Heart that he passed even to this day 🙏

Rush was the first concert I ever went to when I was 13 in 1988! Favorite band of all time! Forever a fan!

Jan 7th. 2020. I sat at my desk tears streaming. My beautiful wife of 20 years, walked into my office. I'd been blaring my spotify RUSH channel for about 8-9 hours straight. She saw a news blurb that Neil had passed. The third time I met the band she was with me. No words needed said she knew that that was a regrettable , yet poignant. day for me.. No other band shaped my perception of music, especially my drumming. The fact that it took until 2013 for this to happen is insane. Dave and Taylor were the perfect choices to induct RUSH, both being true drummers and also personal friends of the band. ~R.

Geddy is so humble...what a group of friends.❤❤❤

When you let 2 crazy and exceptional drummers induct a drum 🥁 god and his mates, to where they’ve always belonged.

My favorite band, by far. Probably been to 40 shows since I first saw them in '80. I took a week off work in 2015 to see 5 shows of the R40 tour. Sadly, their last. So much talent concentrated in three musical geniuses. I'm a grown man that cried watching their Hall of Fame induction. As I type this comment, 11 years later, I'm blasting side A of Moving Pictures on my home office stereo.

Absolutely stunning, Dave and Taylor RIP we're the perfect duo to induct into the hall

Only few did what Rush did, 40 years of friendship, integrity and damn GOOD MUSIC!! Greeting from Italy

The greatest 3 band members ever

i stumbled across rush in the bargain basement bin in the heavy metal shop in australia, they are unheard of here, i bought all there albums after that !!!

RIP Professor and Taylor, two of the greats sorely missed

2024 still enjoying their induction but mourning loss of Neil.!

Dave is so spot on with his introduction to RUSH as a kid. (With his love for Kiss back then) Exactly the same for me.

I feel the love in that hall.

What an honour to open for, play into their song, and share a stage with Rush. A long deserved acknowledgement of this incredible band that we proudly call local. I miss these guys. The news of Neil's passing affected me so much that I had to pull over my truck on highway as the announcement came over the radio in Toronto. RIP Professor, and Taylor.

RUSH for the people!

Dave and Taylor what great humans. So Happy and Excited for Rush. Well deserved Rush....

Little moments like 25:19 are a big part of the reason why Rush endear themselves so much to their fans- Neil making a goofy face until Alex notices just to crack him up. You could always tell how much the 3 of them enjoyed playing together as friends RIP, Professor

WOW!!! What a jam session!!!! Would have loved to have been there. ROCK & ROLL!!!

😭Every. Time. I. Watch. This. I saw them live 17 times & it was not nearly enough.
